Poetry on The Voices Project

I took a photo in July 2020 of two cruise ships abandoned and empty off the coast of Coronado. It struck me as a relic of 2020. Their eerie presence caused me to stop in my tracks and a poem spilled out of me. Months later, I was amazed that the sentiments of the poem still rang true. I thought the poem would be outdated in a few short months, that we would have moved past the stage of life on hold. How wrong I was.

The poem was published on The Voices Project in April 2021. It is titled: Masters of Our Universe.
